Hi Sam and welcome. The numbers I imagine you're referring to must be the big red ones on the ends of the trailer. They were the membership numbers of a former owner in the WBCCI, or the Wally Byam Caravan Club International. Wally designed the first Airstr3am in 1936.

Hey thanks I wonder is there a way to trace the whereabouts of the past owners of a A/S maybe by that number???? #15607

Don't remember if I've already posted or not, since the search function doesn't work for me, but we're 8371, trying to change it to something else.

It took me a few tries but i found our AIR number. Wow 12102 is a lot of people on this, and many more are joining everyday. Good job people, keep it up.

Right now there is no #1. That number is held as an honorary spot to Wally B!

Frederic your "Air" number is 8239...sounds like we might need to petition the WBCCI for a number change.

Yes, but...

I'm not anything close to an expert on WBCCI but the numbers were sequential for quite a long time. Because numbers were getting so high, WBCCI began to reassign numbers as previous members became inactive. Therefore you'd almost need a WBCCI catalog from the years in which your Airstream was registered. Another Forums member probably has some older catalogs and could PM you if they find something (Please avoid placing personal information of 3rd parties into a thread. Thank you!).

Finding my number.

Appears to be 174

If I know your number can I trace back ? If I pull into a campground and I see a Air # can I come to the site and look up the owner.

Thanks Jim

You're #174. Way to go, old timer.

The quality of Airstream, the site, and users keep coming back.
